Ms. Ida L. Castro, Chairwoman U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Office of Federal Operations P.O. Box 19848 Washington, D.C. 20036

Dear Ms. Castro:

I enclose the "Affirmative Action Program Plan Update and Report of Accomplishments for Agency With 1001 or More Employees" for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). During this fiscal year, the NRC will reemphasize its commitment to provide opportunities to the disabled to seek employment by participating in additional career fairs, including a fair sponsored by the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities (PCEPD) to be held on April 24, 2000. We will also increase our outreach efforts through advertisements in publications targeted for people with handicaps. In addition, we are exploring other avenues to attract people with disabilities, such as participation in the Workforce Recruitment Program for Persons with Disabilities (sponsored by PCEPD).

The NRC's contact for this plan and report is Mr. James E. Horn, Assistant to Chief, Human Resources Services and Operations (301-415-1534).

Since ely
